2005-01-30 - 9:18 p.m. value and then I paused to go pick up Precious at Barnes & Noble and spend about $60 that I would not have spent if I did not go pick up Precious, so if I lived alone, I'd be $60 richer right now... this happens most days... yesterday I went to the movies and ate before the movies and went for dessert after the movies and then shopped for food after that and all in all spent about $75 more than I would have spent if I did not go out and I might not have gone out if... a pattern forms... so if I didn't have roommies I'd be $135 richer right now... and the day before... mo money... with Raspy and Precious living here I tend to eat at restaurants and spend a whole lot more money each day than I would if I was living alone... I am much richer when I live alone... but that is just in dollar amounts (can you tell we are up to the third entry of the year?)... I would be much poorer, perhaps, without people in my living space... lonelier, perhaps... sadder, perhaps... and as much as I can say that their lazy unhealthy habits influence me and drag me away from my intended path of physical fitness and healthy lifestyle, they are just giving the lazy unhealthy person in me an easy way out, for my choices are my choices, after all... sure, it might be a whole lot livelier and healthier around here if I was living with marathon running Vegans, but they wouldn't be them (pointing at my slumbering roommies sprawled out on the couches over there)... it would be prudent for me to put a cork in my wallet since I have not been able to save a nickle since 2003 when Raspy moved in (and somehow he's made at least one trip to the Ukraine, but then, he brings home twice the cash amount I bring home every month... at least... and he enjoys tax time cuz he has a dependent... so I have three choices... I could simply say no to spending money and start pulling some money out of my direct deposit checking and throwing it into a savings and not touching the savings... I could sign up for the retirement plan at work and start an IRA and invest and do all the things I once did that allowed me the luxury of taking the off most of the nineties... or I could consider pulling out my resume, going back to school, and looking for a twice-the-pay (or more) job... or I could just continue enjoying life day-to-day without any concern for how I will survive if I happen to survive to be of an age when I can no longer go out and earn just enough to survive at a rather average decadent American lifestyle... social security?... the question is, as my dear megawatt friend so astutely asked, what is more important, what do I value more, money or art?... perhaps in my particular case, the question is between money and life, or to be more exact, between money and living... well that solves it then (oh, was there a problem?)... so I enjoyed living it up tonight as I went out to pick up Natasha... yup, really living it up... I bought a book and gift card for someone at work cuz his birthday is coming up... and then I bought extra cheese and socks (the cheese for the lasagna that's cooking in the oven and the socks for the feet that stick out from the bottom of my legs), mostly because frozen lasagna never has enough cheese on it and because I still have not found the box that contains my socks... maybe this is a dryer caper... you know, dryers eats socks and all... there are no capers on the lasagna as far as I can tell, but that's a caper of a different meaning... and we have garlic bread and a new white grape cherry juice that we've never tried before... the juice is my ongoing effort to suggest that there are alternative liquids to Pepsi in the world and at least Precious, who has not be overdosing on the P stuff for thousands of years like her dad, might be drawn away from the dark side and still has a hope of enjoying the more flavors found in the healthy drinks in the world... look, lots of sugar, it's not that bad... and it isn't useful for cleaning the grease off of automobile engines like P is... Precious looks up at the large bottle of odd colored liquid suspiciously, but with a glimmer of light in her eyes... "Sugar?" she says... "yes, plenty of sweet sugar," I reply... she'll try it (hey, it's a start)... there is hope in the world J
